Overcoming Immune Deficiency with Allogrooming
Allogrooming appears to be essential in many social animals for protection from routine exposure to parasites. In social insects, it appears to be critical for the removal of pathogenic propagules from the cuticle before they can start an infectious ...

ABSTRACT Termites are landscape geo‐engineers whose nesting activities substantially modify the physical and chemical properties of soils. Fossilised termite nests commonly constitute the only identifiable evidence of ancient termite activity and represent valuable trace fossil archives for reconstructing past environments.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

ABSTRACT The soldierless termites of Apicotermitinae exhibit highly varied digestive tract morphology, with the first proctodeal segment being one of the most commonly used features in genus diagnosis. In this study, we describe Spiralitermes jurupari Almeida‐Azevedo & Azevedo gen. et sp. nov., from the Amazon Rainforest.

ABSTRACT Polyphenism, where individuals of the same species exhibit distinct physical or behavioural forms, is widespread across insects. Although well studied in charismatic beetles and eusocial insects such as termites and bees, only a few minor cases of male dimorphism have been reported in non‐termite cockroaches. Here, we describe a new species of

Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.
